Obtaining Compensation for Injuries

If you are injured in an accident,
you have the right to make a personal injury claim against the person who
caused or contributed to your injury. Claims for compensation can be made for
injuries suffered in many situations. The first step is to determine if you
have a claim. The best way to do this is to consult with a personal injury
claim lawyer as soon as possible after a serious personal injury. There are
strict time limits and deadlines that must be met when filing a claim. In
Ontario, there can be two parts to a motor vehicle accident: a claim against an insurance company called
Accident Benefits and a claim against drivers called Tort claims.

Accident Benefits are available to anyone involved in
a motor vehicle accident regardless of who caused the accident. Notify your
insurance company as soon as possible about the accident in order to protect
your entitlement to Accident Benefits. You may qualify for income replacement
benefits, non-earner benefits, medical and rehabilitation benefits, death and
funeral expenses, replacement of damaged clothing and eyeglasses, and travel
and other expenses.

Tort claims are designed to compensate you and your loved ones for pain
and suffering, health care and attendant care expenses. There are several
conditions about how and when you can make a tort claim. A personal injury claim lawyer can give you a
full explanation of your claim.

If you require the services of a
personal injury claim lawyer, you should not have to worry about the cost of
litigation. At Sokoloff Lawyers, we know our clients want to concentrate on a
healthy recovery, not on paying lawyer fees. We accept our cases on a
contingency fee basis, which is a negotiated percentage of your settlement.
This means you do not pay us until you get your money.
